Former Indian Cricketer and Commentator Sanjay Manjrekar has always created a lot of buzz with his controversial statements in recent times. Manjrekar, who was bashed for his infamous "bits and pieces" comment about the Indian All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, is being trolled again for including Indian Captain Virat Kohli's name in his dream XI of ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. The 37 tests veteran got trolled for naming the Indian skipper in the XI despite his average performance and exclusion of Ravindra Jadeja.

Was The selection Biased?
Santner & Shakib both are identical spinners. You deliberately chose Santner because of Jadeja. 🤣
One more batsman in place of Santner.
Or Jimmy Neesham in place of him.

During the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, Manjrekar stated that “I am not a big fan of bits and pieces players which Jadeja is at this point of his career in 50-over cricket”. to which the 30-year-old all-rounder tweeted: “Still I have played twice the number of matches you have played and I m still playing. Learn to respect ppl who have achieved.i have heard enough of your verbal diarrhoea.”
Later in the mega-tournament, Jadeja played a magnificent of 77 runs in the all-important, semi-final match against New Zealand. The cameo wasn't sufficient to guide India over the line but enough to shatter the commentator. In the post-match discussion Manjrekar said that "By bits 'n' pieces of sheer brilliance, he's ripped me apart on all fronts" and again become a topic of mockery in social media.
